    Allow caching of values generated by generator(instance), where

    ._<name>_cache to store a cache flag for a particular owner

    When the cache flag is True or missing and the stored value is
    initVal, the first fget call triggers the generator function,
    whose output is stored in _<name>_cached_value.  That and
    subsequent calls to fget will return this cached value.

    If the input value is no longer initVal (e.g. a value has been
    loaded from disk or set with fset), that value overrides any
    cached value, and this property has no effect.
    
    When the cache flag is False and the stored value is initVal, the
    generator is not cached, but is called on every fget.

    The cache flag is missing on initialization.  Particular instances
    may override by setting their own flag.

    In the case that mutable == True, all caching is disabled and the
    generator is called whenever the cached value would otherwise be
    used.  This avoids uncertainties in the value of stored mutables.
